On May 14, 1804, President Jefferson sent Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lt. William Clark, along with the initial crew of 51 men “to trace the Missouri to its source, to cross the Highlands, and follow the best water communication which offered itself from thence to the Pacific Ocean.” The expedition arrived at “Kaw's Mouth” on June 26, 1804. Now called “Kaw Point” is where the Kansas River runs into the Missouri River. Kaw's Point, in 1804, was about 1/4 mile up the Missouri river from its current location.
This park commemorates the time this expedition spent exploring the area.
The ground can be soft in this area.
First to Find Micro Geocoin for the FTF!
This is wheelchair and stroller accessible with the exception of the last 10 or 15 feet.
Be sure you do the earth cache that is also located in this park!
Congrats on the FTF go to Miss Maar and absoluteimagery!
